AITA for not moving from a spot someone wanted to propose on?quote:One of my hobbies is to go hiking and eat a very large meal while sitting down. Basically a picnic for myself. I bring a blanket and anything else I might need for an hour-long experience. i too am a hobbyist of eating a large meal while sitting down.

That's a weird hobby but if your proposal has to be at an exact time and place then maybe pick one you can reserve in advance and not a public area

FMguru posted:I was trying to imagine what you could pick up a truckload of at a logistics terminal and have it be worth $1 million. Laptops? Smartphones? Playstations? Designer handbags? Around the turn of the century, I worked in a warehouse that shipped to a regional store chain. It had a little bit of everything you would find in a general store. I assume theft OP is somewhere similar, maybe like a Target-type place but smaller?

They may have been a bit rude, but that's nothing compared to the massive sense of entitlement that comes with trying to evict someone from a public use space so you can take performative photos for social media clout/to make your spinster sibling jealous. It reminds me of people who give you poo poo for "walking through their shot" at the gym while they record: the world does not start and stop at your convenience and other humans are not NPCs in your game. Enjoy your picnic, girl.

Like, what was their plan if e.g. the picnic was part of some other couple's proposal or other romantic event rather than just a lone hiker? Yeah, I know this thread is notorious for people throwing out ridiculous hypotheticals that completely change the context, but I'm not sure that it really does change the context. Why is she less worthy of the space because she's just having a good time doing her own thing?

Yes, someone who is very clearly not an rear end in a top hat can become one when you decide to invent missing reasons.

The proposal people were being super rude after the fact, but it also would have cost picnic op nothing if they moved and let people have their stupid little moment. AITAH for being upset with my GF for placing a literal spy camera in my house because she thinks I have a “Dungeon” quote:Firstly: the room isn’t that important imo, this is more about her invading my privacy. "My 'I'm not doing anything illegal in my dungeon' shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt."

I thought of it as kind of a sliding scale of convenience, like, if I'm just chilling on a park bench and they ask me to move, sure. Got my large meal set up and I'm in the middle of enjoying it? Maybe not so much.

I really want to know how the photographer worded his original request for her to move. Because if it was rude, I'm sure we would have been told that. And if it were a "Um, hey, hi, I've got a couple coming and I'm sorry to ask, but...", then, yeah, she has a right to refuse, but it still makes her an rear end in a top hat. haveblue posted:That's a weird hobby but if your proposal has to be at an exact time and place then maybe pick one you can reserve in advance and not a public area And that's another thing.

If it went down as OP told it, they are fine and not really an rear end in a top hat as much as just a little rude. But any story that involves OP getting a perfectly timed parting shot at someone who was shockingly unreasonable while smugly walking away reeks of STDH.txt and makes me assume this either didn't happen or it is getting told differently than it went down.

It would also have cost the proposal couple nothing to gently caress off and do it elsewhere upon seeing their initial spot was occupied.

Yeah that's the other thing, why did it have to be now? It would have been so easy to have a civilized conversation about how long they expected to take and then the couple waits around for a bit. Did the sun have to be in the exact position for the ideal lighting or something?

Along the same lines it cost the proposal people nothing if they moved and let OP have their picnic … which is exactly what they did. If you don’t want strangers in your photographs, don’t take them in public places or learn to be patient. Comedy option: Take the photos anyway, photoshop an awkwardly placed rock or tree over OP.

Let's be honest, judging by their reaction to a minor inconvenience getting engaged is not going to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for either part of this couple, they'll have plenty of chances for the perfect photos.

I'm having a big laugh at this because the gfs response to the dungeon was "I don't trust this guy with a prison in his basement, but I think I'll stick around and spend over a hundred bucks spying on him instead of just, I dunno, not risking my life hanging around the person with a dungeon in his basement he could seal me in?" Like, even if it is the harmless thing he presents it as or its some kind of bdsm kink thing he hasnt brought up, it's ok for her to gtfo out of there if it's existence makes her uncomfortable. She doesn't need to stick around and prove it's malicious first.

Especially considering the friend seems to have been sent in advance to scout the location. But if it's planned, and you must have that spot and that lighting, yeah, claim the spot more than few minutes in advance.

I hate the idea of the perfect entirely planned and rehearsed proposal. Specially when both parties know its coming. Life isn't about creating the perfect insta photos. You don't need an over the top incredibly planned proposal, you don't need a 100k wedding, you don't need a gender reveal party. Society had educated you stupid.

People will not just move because it's your Special Day, no one gives a poo poo that you think you're the Main Character today. Proposal couple got exactly what they planned, in that they didn't actually plan out at all what they apparently considered the most important part, at all. To do that you need to make agreements with people to have solo access to the space. They just thought being there with a photographer would be enough lol StrangersInTheNight fucked around with this message at 17:14 on Sep 13, 2023 |
